Before we start with this lesson where you are going to read the Present Perfect tense. Let’s remember the tenses that we have studied up to this point:

The Present Simple and Present Continuous

We have studied these two tenses before. These refer to the present tense but in different ways. The present simple is used to talk about actions that “usually” happen. These actions describe routines or habits. The present continuous is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment in which they are spoken.

Present Simple: For routines, habits and current information
– I usually get up at 6:00 am.
– Tom goes to the gym at weekends.
– Sarah has two children.
